I felt confident that I had escaped this week's Bible study of the very familiar first two chapters of Daniel without writing a poem, but then this happened. It is kind of like a Daniel sandwich, but that would be a worse title than just plain Daniel.
Daniel--
Raised among a people whose
faithlessness led to their fall.
Separated from all familiar
his home, family, even his name.
Destined for duty to the king
who conquered and killed his people.
Praised his seemingly defeated God
for revealing a despot's dream.
Served Babylon lifelong as Belteshazzar,
but served the Lord he loved as--
Daniel
